ProCall meetings and integration with Microsoft Teams
Settings for appointments in online meetings
When using Microsoft Teams, creating a new meeting appointment in the calendar automatically creates a Microsoft Teams invitation and attaches it to the appointment, if necessary. This also applies to invitations that you want to send for a meeting via ProCall Meetings, among other things..
To prevent invitations to ProCall meetings from also containing an invitation to a Microsoft Teams meeting, you can edit each of these manually.
However, there is also a global way to set/unset this behavior for calendar invitations here by changing the calendar, meetings and time zone settings:
Microsoft Outlook calendar, meeting and time zone settings – File – Calendar options
The setting options can be found, for example, in Microsoft Outlook under File – Outlook options – Calendar – Calendar options.
Remove the checkmark from "Add online meeting to all meetings".
